Flurry of promotions at Nintendo UK

Following its domestic growth and global success, Nintendo’s UK office has handed out a string of promotions across the business.

Rob Lowe and James Honeywell – UK product managers for Wii and DS, respectively – have both been made senior product managers. PR supremo Rob Saunders becomes senior UK PR manager, as all three continue to report to UK marketing director Dawn Paine.

Elsewhere, Patrick Honnoraty has been given the new role of inventory planning manager. Parham Shibaie becomes trade and systems analyst, and is tasked with looking after all sales and stock reporting requirements for the UK operation.

Both Honnoraty and Shibaie are to report to UK finance director Tom Pearce.

We are really pleased to be able to recognise just some of Nintendo’s efforts and achievements over the past few years and to reward our UK team accordingly,” UK general manager David Yarnton told MCV.
